The album's artwork was created using a photograph of Gillespie’s late father, Robert Gillespie Senior, by Turner Prize nominated artist Jim Lambie.
Bobby’s father remains deeply respected for his lifelong commitment to campaigning for social justice, and themes of class run through the album.
“There is a message of hope in the record,” says Bobby Gillespie “but it’s tempered with an acceptance of the worst side of human nature.”
